“We had information that the suspect had gone to multiple locations so we were kind of all over town interviewing folks and trying to find different camera views,” Roufs said.

"Giving him a ride or letting him borrow their vehicle or borrowing some other item of clothing; if they know or have any kind of understanding of what he is about to do or doing, they can be charged with the crime itself, Roufs added.
